Take another look at the protest at the Bernie Sanders rally...

I don’t care about this issue; what I see is Bernie losing losing control of the moment and waiting for staff to clean things up. Bill Clinton would have engaged with the disruptor, maintained control of the situation and defused the protest.

1. He should have told them

To moooove along. She’s lucky. Back in the day we had frontier justice for such chicanery.

According to reports, Meyer was in line for access to the microphone, when former Ambassador Dennis Jett, a University of Florida political science instructor and the forum's moderator,[13] announced that one more question would be taken from the microphone on the right as seen from the stage. Meyer grabbed a second microphone which had been shut off, and demanded he be allowed to ask a question, asking, "Why don't you answer my questions? I have been waiting and listening to you speak in circles for the last two hours." He also stated, "These officers are going to arrest me," and "You will take my question because I have been listening to your crap for two hours."[14] When an officer attempted to cut Meyer off and escort him out of the hall, Meyer broke away and continued to shout. Kerry then intervened and requested that Meyer be allowed to ask a question. Meyer was then brought back to the microphone with police officers on either side of him.[15]

Meyer then handed his camera to the woman who was standing in front of him in line and requested that she record him. Kerry then finished answering a previous question, and Meyer was then recognized by Kerry to ask a question.

2. I think Bill would have enjoyed the view more than Bernie did.

[lunasun]

7. + 😛

[George II]

3. He looked terrified. Every other candidate would have stood up for himself. Not a good look.

[zackymilly]

18. Think so? You don't think Joe would have told her to vote for someone else and walked away? n/t

[Walleye]

26. You didn't see Dr. Jill in action with that protester?

[zackymilly]

32. Jill having to fight Joe's battles? Maybe Jill should run for President. n/t

[DanTex]

4. I can only imagine the outrage these same anti-Bernie tweeters would have towards

the protestor if this had happened to another candidate. The anti-Bernie hate on twitter is reaching a fever pitch, and the irony is the same tweeters are the ones complaining about how rude Bernie supporters are.

[msongs]

5. yes its hard to believe there's actually people who think bernie is not the best thing ever nt

[Cha]

16. lol

[NurseJackie]

23. Haaaaaa!

[dware]

29. For the win.

[virgogal]

6. I have no problem with his behavior.

That’s what the staff is for......and that young lady should be ashamed of herself.

[squirecam]

11. Yeah

Is he supposed to get involved physically or something?

[Zoonart]

27. Problem is.... I feel that Bernie's staff is running him and not the other way round.

I think the raft of ill fitting un-vetted staff hires attest to that fact. This is a problem.
We already have a *resident who is not running the ship of state, but has handed it off to his minions. We don't need another.

I don't dislike Bernie, I simply think that he is too old for such a rigorous process and office. I feel the same way about Joe, BTW.

[calguy]

8. He had a moment like this four years ago

A woman grabbed the mic out of his hand and started talking.
I could envision the trump ad headline.
" How can a socialist defend the country if he can't even defend his own stage? ".
Troubling.

[UniteFightBack]

9. What a leader *cough* nt

[rockfordfile]

10. Those are trump supporters trying to interrupt

[dware]

30. And you know this how? nt

[Deero]

12. How

did the naked lady get on stage too?

[dustyscamp]

13. It could be another fake supporter sent by the Cons or an opposing candidate to stir up trouble

I think a few of our candidates experienced something similar to this in the past few months

[quickesst]

15. this did happen to another candidate

Karine Jean-Pierre was not having it.

https://m.

[cwydro]

14. That's gonna become a gif lol.

Any or all of it.

The mic grab is really something.

[zackymilly]

17. To be fair, Bernie kept her from getting his mic. She got the stationary one off the podium. n/t

[cwydro]

22. Yeah, it was his "grab" that I found funniest actually.

[Nanjeanne]

19. Disqualifying! I better choose another candidate stat!

[wyldwolf]

20. As a leader, as a politician, Sanders is NO BILL CLINTON

Bernie Sanders couldn't carry Bill Clinton's (or Hillary's or Obama's) water. He and his toxic supporters (and they're ALL toxic, some just more so than others) can fuck right off. Starting to encounter these college kids on my facebook feed who think they're so much smarter than the rest of us when all they're doing is reducing the Democratic party to a Tigerbeat teen idol popularity contest.

[RandiFan1290]

25. When Bernie is the nominee

You will show up and vote FOR him too

[dware]

31. Well, then I guess we won't have to worry about that. nt

[hlthe2b]

21. What that illustrates to me is that he has set up big disappointment from some supporters SHOULD

he actually win and not be able to fulfill all their expectations--which are incredibly high--probably exceeding anything he ever promoted.

I think all the candidates have some supporters whose expectations may be on the extreme, but his seem to be the exception. It won't be good for him or any of us in the end. Unlike Trump supporters (some whose expectations might be equally unrealistic), some of these excessively unrealistic Sander's supporters likely WILL hold him to account.

24. So, Bernie Supporters protested Bernie on dairy support.

Wow!

She said she loved him and she was his biggest supporter.

[brutus smith]

28. I guess Bernie could have called her a lying dog faced pony soldier.

[wnylib]

33. I am not a Sanders supporter,

but this looks like a set up from someone who opposes Sanders and wants to publicly embarrass both him and his supporters.

The "protester" claims to be a great supporter, but grabs his mic to publicly criticize him over the dairy industry and animal agriculture? Looks and sounds designed to portray his supporters as kooks.

Conveniently provides a clip to use in anti Sanders ads.

To me, it reeks of political dirty tricks set up.

Mind you, I do not support him and do not intend to vote for him in the primary. But I call it as I see it, and this smells phony.
